The future of Argentina national team captain Lionel Messi remains uncertain after the 2026 World Cup, in which Argentina finished in second place. His decision to continue with the national team or retire from international football has not yet been made, despite his exceptional performance during the tournament and the demonstration of his ability to compete at the highest levels. Messi is looking forward to participating in the Copa America 2028, especially since his contract with his club extends until then. His final decision will depend on his physical condition and level of readiness, as he has repeatedly emphasized that his continuation is linked to his health. The Argentine national team, led by coach Lionel Scaloni, is expected to play six friendly matches in the coming months to prepare for upcoming tournaments, with the possibility of participating in the 2030 World Cup, which will be hosted partially by Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay. This may lead the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) to organize alternative competitions for the participating teams.
